Plot

A Strange New Star examines the prophecies concerning Christ's birth. It is a retelling of the different events that led the shepherds, the Magi, and others to worship the birth of the King in the manger. The play reaches its culmination as Simeon rejoices over seeing Jesus's presentation at the temple. He rejoices that he did not see death until He has seen the Messiah. Simeon is then escorted into glory.
